Mr. Ma focused much of his comments on how machine learning could act as a force for good. He said it was something "to embrace" and would deliver fresh insights into how people think. "When human beings understand ourselves better, then we can improve the world better," he explained. Furthermore, he predicted AI would help create new kinds of jobs, which would require less of our time and be centred on creative tasks
馬雲認為，有學習功能的機器如何能夠成為一種正面的力量。他說，這是一件值得「歡迎」的事情，能夠給人們帶來新的想法。「當我們人類更加了解自己的時候，我們就能夠讓世界變得更好，」他說。除此之外，馬雲預言，人工智能將會創造更多新的工種，從而節省我們的時間，將人類可以更集中於創造性的工作。

By contrast, Mr. Musk suggested that mass unemployment was a real concern. "AI will make jobs kind of pointless," he claimed.

相反，馬斯克則認為，大規模失業將會是一個實實在在的問題。「人工智能會令職位變得有點無意義，」馬斯克說。「很可能最後剩下的工種就是給AI寫程序，然後最終，AI還是自己編寫自己的軟件。」馬斯克還表示，人類文明可能因此而終結，並且最終將成為更高級生命體的墊腳石。

To avoid such a fate, he said we needed to find a way to connect our brains to computers so that we could "go along for the ride with AI" - something he is trying to achieve via one of his latest start-ups. Otherwise, he cautioned, AI would become weary of trying to communicate with humans, as we would be much slower thinkers in comparison.
馬斯克表示，為了避免這樣一種命運，我們需要找到一種方法將我們的大腦連接到電腦上，讓我們能夠「跟著AI走」——他正在試圖通過一家他最新建立的初創公司做到這一點。否則，他警告說，AI將會對試圖與人類溝通感到厭倦，因為相比之下我們的思考會比電腦慢得多。
21. to avoid such a fate 避免這樣一種命運
22. go along for the ride 跟著走；搭順風車；湊熱鬧
23. be weary of 厭煩，不耐煩；倦

By contrast, Mr. Ma acknowledged that AI could now beat humans at games like chess and Go, but claimed computers would only be one of several intelligent tools that we would develop in time. Although Mr. Ma acknowledged that we needed to find ways to become "more creative and constructive", he concluded that "my view is that [a] computer may be clever, but human beings are much smarter".
相反，馬雲則認為，雖然AI現在可能在象棋和「精靈寶可夢」（Pokemon Go）等遊戲當中擊敗人類，但是他堅持認為，電腦最終只會是我們發展的多種智能工具之一。雖然馬雲承認，我們需要尋找方法來變得「更加有創造力和建設性」，但是他斷定，「我的觀點是電腦可能很聰明，但是人類還是會聰明得多。
24. acknowledge 承認；認可…屬實或存在
25. more creative and constructive 更具創造性和建設性
Mr. Musk responded: "Yeah, definitely not.

Towards the end of the event the two men came together on one point - that concerns about overpopulation were misguided." Assuming... there's a benevolent future with AI, I think that the biggest problem the world will face in 20 years is population collapse," said Mr. Musk."I want to emphasize this, the biggest issue in 20 years will be population collapse, not explosion collapse." Mr. Ma said he was absolutely in agreement.
到最後，馬斯克和馬雲在一件事情上的觀點是一致的——對人口過剩的擔憂是一種誤解。馬斯克說：「假設……AI能帶來一個美好的未來的話，我認為20年後的世界面臨的最大問題將會是人口銳減。」「我想強調這一點，20年後的最大問題將會是人口銳減，不是人口爆炸。」馬雲表示，他對此完全同意。
26. come together on... 在…的觀點是一致的
27. misguide 誤導
28. a benevolent future with 美好/仁慈的未來
